@Selim Nah, I don't think we'll ever see a new Zelda, Mario or Smash Bros on the Switch 2... This is a Nintendo console, you'd better forget about that.
In Switch, some Ninja Gaiden Ragebound (great game!) and the always-good Fantasy Life.
However, I recently played Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Expedition 33 on other consoles, and wow, amazing games!! I really hope they end up coming to Switch 2, so that everyone can enjoy them. Especially Expedition 33 is such a memorable experience.
I bet we'll get a release date, along with a new trailer, very soon, Nintendo style. Hopefully it will launch by the end of September, but if it's in November, it will be perfectly fine.
I bet a Partner's Direct is coming by Tuesday 29th of July.
And here's what I hope to see (fingers crossed!):
-Release dates for Borderlands 4, FFVII Remake, Elden Ring and Star Wars Outlaws, all out this Fall.
-Switch 2 Updates for Witcher 3, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Nier Automata and other big games (later this year).
-Big announcement: Astral Chain 2 (2026)
-Red Dead Redemption 2 (later this year).
-Metaphor Re Fantazio (later this year).
-Resident Evil 7 & 8 bundle (later this year).
-Monster Hunter World (later this year).
-Big announcement: first trailer of Dragon Quest XII (2026, not exclusive).
-Baldur's Gate 3 (2026).
-Star Wars Jedi Saga (2026).
-Dragon's Dogma 2 (2026).
-Expedition 33 (2026).
-Small trailers of various indie and AA games coming to Switch 2 between this and next year.
-The show ends with a big exclusive from a big company.
I'd also say the RE remakes, Monster Hunter Wilds and the Kingdom Hearts games (not cloud) are coming, but later on. They won't be announced yet.
I already have VIII and IX on Switch (so glad they finally run well on the Switch 2), and I will get this version for the 2 when it comes out. I hear great things about this game, can't wait!
I will get Fantasy Life first because I LOVED the 3DS original, but I'll get this one too for sure at some point. Good to know it's as good or even better than FL!
@Stormkyleis I played Sunshine at the time, and I played it again recently (in the 3D All Stars). I don't think it's one of the best games of the generation, no way. It's by far the worst 3D Mario game, there are tons of better platformers out there. A score of 8.2 is quite high, imo. I'd give it a 7.5, and I LOVE the Super Mario franchise (Galaxy is one of my all time favorite games).
Yesss I want them both! I wonder if the first one can be upgraded though, or if It's a proper remaster.
Edit: Ok, I just saw this: "There's also a free digital upgrade for existing Little Nightmare owners at launch, but this is not available for the Nintendo versions."
What a terrible way to treat Nintendo players...
Not good. I will buy them when they are as cheap as they can get, then. They don't deserve more.
Release your games physically, and we'll buy (Cyberpunk). Release your games digitally at a low price, and we'll buy (No Man's Sky, Fast Fusion). That's it.
I haven't played the game yet, but if it was just as good as the first one, it would be an instant 9/10 for me. Knowing that it's better in every way, though, makes it a solid 10/10!
I'm looking forward to playing it! As soon as I get a Switch 2, though, I'm not in a hurry.
PS: I really hope there's a physical edition in the West by then...
No way I'm paying 80€ for it, actually I've never paid more than 50 for a game (a Zelda). But of course I'm getting it as soon as I see it for a good price! It looks great.
I give you that, until they release a Direct focused of Metroid Prime 4 lol.
This game looks good, I must say. I'm gladly surprised. It's still hard to say if I will like it that much, that's why I won't get it day one (unless Metroid), but I'll end up playing it for sure. It looks quite fun!
@Yydeckard "what is the best thing they can be doing right now then?"
Well, after an "E3" where we haven't seen any announcements for the Switch 2, I actually expected to have a Partner's Direct now to confirm that many of the titles announced are actually coming to Switch 2 as well, and so they were just holding out until that event to confirm all the support.
It might be just me, but I'd prefer to know more about the third party support on Switch 2 rather than knowing more about a single game... Call me crazy.
We want to see release dates of Elden Ring, Star Wars Outlaws and FF VII Remake, among others, and announcements of games such as Red Dead 2 and Metaphor: Re Fantazio, with release dates for this year.
Come on Nintendo, make it happen!
Edit: Nintendo didn't make it at the end. They're just releasing a DK-focused Direct this week... Too bad.

Re: Capcom 'Platinum Titles' Sales Update - Monster Hunter, Resident Evil And More
If they ever brought their most succesful ganes to the Switch 2 (no Key Card, please!), they would sell so much more!
At least, I want RE 2, 4 (remake), 7 and 8, Monster Hunter World and DMCV.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
Not many people interested, it seems lol.
Not a very "Nintendo game" this one. Not what we all expect, that's for sure.

Re: 27 Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games We're Excited For In 2025
Very strange not to see Borderlands 4 here... What's wrong with the game? It looks pretty good on Switch 2, right?
Also Reanimal should be on the list too!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (9th August)
In Switch, some Ninja Gaiden Ragebound (great game!) and the always-good Fantasy Life.
However, I recently played Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Expedition 33 on other consoles, and wow, amazing games!! I really hope they end up coming to Switch 2, so that everyone can enjoy them. Especially Expedition 33 is such a memorable experience.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Kirby And The Forgotten Land?
I got the Switch 1 version, enjoyed a lot and sold it. Now I'm getting the Switch 2 version directly.
Great game, and now it seems even better.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Thursday 7th August 2025
No Key Cards here, then? Lol
Let's hope not to be dissapointed again... I'll go with no hype this time.
Re: Nintendo Sends Out Second Game-Key Card & Physical Game Survey
It takes some time, but it's worth it, guys! Let's get together and change this situation!
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Playable At Fan Expo Canada This Month
I bet we'll get a release date, along with a new trailer, very soon, Nintendo style.
Hopefully it will launch by the end of September, but if it's in November, it will be perfectly fine.

Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Party Rolls A Fine Switch 2 Debut, But Can't Move To The Top Spot
Sooner or later, the Game Key Card issue is going to affect Switch 2 sales...
Nintendo needs to handle this situation as soon as possible.

For me the main games for August/September are:

-Kirby
-Shinobi AoV
-Trails in the Sky
-Ninja Gaiden Ragebound

-Sonic Racing
-Final Fantasy Tactics
Maybe:
-Star Wars Outlaws

Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie
@Spider-Kev So terrible that nobody, fans or not, liked them! Hahaha.
Now seriously, the LOTR movies are simply MARVELOUS.
Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie
I don't know them, and that's actually better. Same as with LOTR, and remember what happened...
Re: Here's What Donkey Kong Bananza Looked Like On Switch 1
@AverageGamer It IS 90 euros, yes.
Re: Here's What Donkey Kong Bananza Looked Like On Switch 1
@Willo567 The people that have played the game say so. Haven't you read any impressions, anywhere?
Re: Here's What Donkey Kong Bananza Looked Like On Switch 1
@Dr_Lugae So what then? We better don't destroy the terrain?
Re: Here's What Donkey Kong Bananza Looked Like On Switch 1
@AverageGamer Maybe he's not from USA, mate. Here in Europe the game costs 80 bucks (euros).
Re: Here's What Donkey Kong Bananza Looked Like On Switch 1
Perhaps they should remove all that extra grass so that the performance is good? Just saying....

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
I hope they fix it by the time the game is released... Normally, performance actually affects fun and playability.
Re: Ys X: Proud Nordics Reportedly Includes 120fps Performance Mode On Switch 2
@Exerion76 They did an Atlus lol.
It's the same thing Atlus always does, it's a terrible practice.
Re: Ys X: Proud Nordics Reportedly Includes 120fps Performance Mode On Switch 2
I already have VIII and IX on Switch (so glad they finally run well on the Switch 2), and I will get this version for the 2 when it comes out. I hear great things about this game, can't wait!
Re: Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack Announced For Switch 2 And Switch
How much will this cost? 150 bucks?

Next ones: Red Dead Redemption 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Metaphor and Expedition 33.
Re: Mini Review: Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Now Near-Perfect On The New Console
@UltimateOtaku91 Oh wow, that's surprising!
I will get Fantasy Life first because I LOVED the 3DS original, but I'll get this one too for sure at some point. Good to know it's as good or even better than FL!
Re: Fantasy Life i Switch 2 Physical Release And Photo Mode Update Announced
Can't wait to play it whenever they decide to release a physical version in the West. Come on Level 5! What are you waiting for?
Re: Mega Man Is One Of Capcom's "Most Important IPs" Despite No New Games In 7+ Years
What about a new Megaman Legends now, Capcom? I think it's the perfect time for it!
Re: Switch Port Experts Share Thoughts About Switch 2's "Raw" Performance
So basically it's as powerful as a PS4 Pro. Good enough to be primarly a handheld, imo!
Oh, I will enjoy this console so much when I finally put my hands on it... (as soon as Metroid Prime comes out).

Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online GameCube Game On Switch 2, Ranked
Next ones should be Star Wars Rogue Leader and Eternal Darkness. There's no way we can play those games otherwise.
Re: Dave The Diver Is Getting A Free Switch 2 Upgrade "Soon", Says Mintrocket
This is nice!
I can't wait to companies like Platinum to start releasing Switch 2 upgrades for their games (Nier Automata, Astral Chain, Bayonetta 3...).
Re: Best Yoshi Games Of All Time
I didn't like Yoshi"s Woolly World, so I guess the only good one is... the original SNES game. Uhmm ok. Next.
Re: Feature: Every Switch 2 Launch Game, Ranked
@geiseldiesel We did, Nintendo Life users. Have you not read the article? Lol.

Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Drag x Drive' Won't Include Local Multiplayer Support
Uff no thanks! Nintendo, you can do better!!
Re: Little Nightmares 3 And Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition Announced For Switch 2
Yesss I want them both! I wonder if the first one can be upgraded though, or if It's a proper remaster.
Edit: Ok, I just saw this: "There's also a free digital upgrade for existing Little Nightmare owners at launch, but this is not available for the Nintendo versions."
What a terrible way to treat Nintendo players...
Not good. I will buy them when they are as cheap as they can get, then. They don't deserve more.
Re: Nintendo Confirms The Release Date For Drag X Drive On Switch 2
@Sylamp Lol, a lot of times they say "Winter 2020" or "Holiday 2023", and the final release date is in November, so... You can't trust that stuff.
Re: Exclusive: Fast Fusion's First Major Update Arrives This Week With Three New Tracks
Now, for the price, content and quality, THIS is a real MUST HAVE.
I hope this sells well, so we show the developers that we are not stupid. We pay for the things that are worthy.
Re: Nintendo Confirms The Release Date For Drag X Drive On Switch 2
@sanderev I'd say Metroid in November and Hyrule Warriors in September (you forgot about this one!).
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
The reason is simple: it's called GAME KEY CARD.
Release your games physically, and we'll buy (Cyberpunk). Release your games digitally at a low price, and we'll buy (No Man's Sky, Fast Fusion).
That's it.

@WiltonRoots Why Irish? I don't know there, but that's the official price in Spain.

No way I'm paying 80€ for it, actually I've never paid more than 50 for a game (a Zelda). But of course I'm getting it as soon as I see it for a good price! It looks great.
Re: Reaction: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Instantly Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2025

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's John Marston Teases "Exciting News" This Week
@johnedwin Too bad, man! DK is great and all, but I think we prefered to know more about the third party support before that event...

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's John Marston Teases "Exciting News" This Week
A Partners' Direct is coming this week, guys!
We want to see release dates of Elden Ring, Star Wars Outlaws and FF VII Remake, among others, and announcements of games such as Red Dead 2 and Metaphor: Re Fantazio, with release dates for this year.
Come on Nintendo, make it happen!
Edit: Nintendo didn't make it at the end. They're just releasing a DK-focused Direct this week... Too bad.
Re: Switch 2's Best-Selling eShop Games So Far
The top 4 is great! That's basically what I'll get once I put my hands on the console lol.
Those and Fast Fusion (already bought).
